Hi, Cerie!

I'm also on my way towards 100% raw. Although transitioning isn't recommended, it was VERY difficult for me to eat much fruit initially. For the first week it was a challenge to get down a 5 banana smoothie without gagging, plus buying rice in bulk can be so much more affordable than organic produce! Luckily, whatever aversion I had to the large amounts of fruit sugar disappeared quickly and I've worked my way up to 9 bananas at a time. :)

I'm done with the grains now and don't plan on buying anything else that requires cooking. I'm making this Sunday my official start date of 100% (still have some potatoes to finish up).

Anyway, welcome and I'm happy to give friendship and support while I too embrace the LFRV lifestyle.

Hi Cerie!

Welcome! I learned so much from this community after only some days after registering. I decided to go 100% 811 because I'm a sort of person that has an "all or none" sort of mentality for things that are important to me. ;)

There are great people here who can help and I hope you find just as much peace and happiness here as I hae found, Cerie. :)

Hi Cerie,

and welcome to the exclusive club, muahahaha!

My pro tip to you is make sure the fruit is ripe, ripe fruit is a huuuuge difference, something I didn't realize at first. 

bless

Yeah, i've been having difficulties already with this. I've bought mangos several times and they always tend to go bad or not ripe enough :/

but thanks for the tip! :)
